Dialogue

 1 Phaedr|   mankind is man;’ and he is a far more complex and wonderful
 2 Phaedr|        natural process will be far nobler, and will bring forth
 3 Phaedr|      to a statue, for example, far more than to any kind of
 4 Phaedr|     some species of literature far more than to others. Nor
 5 Phaedr|       of them and they will be far more improving to your mind.
 6 Phaedr|   world, which seemed to exist far more truly than the fleeting
 7 Phaedr|  representation of Plato.~Thus far we may believe that Plato
 8 Phaedr|    substance from the form, is far truer than an elaborate
 9 Phaedr|       banished, and which were far enough away from the mind
10 Phaedr|        being in these respects far inferior to the second);
11 Phaedr|     age, but to live is higher far, to be ourselves the book,
12 Phaedr|   remains, insipid rhetoric is far more characteristic of Isocrates
13 Phaedr|     the style, we shall not be far wrong in placing the Phaedrus
14 Phaedr|   writing. He sees clearly how far removed they are from the
15 Phaedr|     Plato, who esteemed genius far above art, and was quite
16 Phaedr|   there is at least one who is far above the average in natural
17 Phaedr|    grow up under circumstances far more favourable to the growth
18 Phaedr|  renaissance in the future. So far is the world from becoming
19 Phaedr|    midday and in the summer is far from being unpleasant.~SOCRATES:
20 Phaedr|        larger, and you will be far more likely to find among
21 Phaedr|   Theban, but all the rest are far behind you. And now I do
22 Phaedr|      that he is inspired.~Thus far I have been speaking of
23 Phaedr|   honours and imitates him, as far as he is able; and after
24 Phaedr|  character and disposition, so far as man can participate in
25 Phaedr|       and nature of the god as far as they each can; for no
26 Phaedr|        Very true.~SOCRATES: So far are they from despising,
27 Phaedr|  Hermes, who inspired me, were far better rhetoricians than
28 Phaedr|     defective. But the art, as far as there is an art, of rhetoric
29 Phaedr|      to tell you generally, as far as is in my power, how a
30 Phaedr|     man. Having proceeded thus far in his analysis, he will
31 Phaedr|       act acceptably to Him as far as in him lies; for there
32 Phaedr|       you do not mind going so far, rhetoric has a fair beginning
33 Phaedr| another kind of word or speech far better than this, and having
34 Phaedr|   better than this, and having far greater power—a son of the
35 Phaedr|     True, Phaedrus. But nobler far is the serious pursuit of
